I have taken delivery of my new dryer, decided to give a vented dryer a try as I always used condenser dryers, And I must admit I am very surprised in the quickness of the drying time and laundry appears to be a lot softer! I have had some aluminium rigid ducting installed. I am drying all clothing on cottons low temperature and towels on cottons normal. My old miele condenser dryer has gone to a good home (Mum’s house)

Nice!
Still amazing to me is that on 230v your dryers are plug-n-play! We need a dedicated heavy-duty 230v 30a line! My dryer runs on 120v (The exception rather than the rule) and is RIDICULOUSLY SLOW . It looks like a gorgeous set. ENJOY Anyone care to post a link to the owner's manuals, since I'm lazy? LOL | ||

Immer Besser...
Hi James
Looking good, the wide static vents are always the best, although I pity the builder having to cut through those thick Yorkshire walls!!!Glad you are enjoying it...eventually...LOl How quicker are you finding it with towels etc than the condenser??

Hot air Dryers
Hello James
Im glad your enjoying your tumble dryer, i have only had one condensor dryer and that was an AEG Lavatherm autosense, i didnt get on with it very well, like your previous dryer it took a lot longer to dry clothes and not always that well (damp patches here and there) Though the dryers i have are all old types that are vented they are a lot faster at drying and the clothes come out less creased then in the AEG condensor jobby. so good luck with it looks good with its partner washing machine Gary | ||

I believe that a typical full sized dryer's heating element uses around 5200 watts - but someone can correct me if I am wrong.

Not around my neck of the woods, they didn't! It's FREEZING up here at the moment and has been since just after my Mums birthday mid-October! Making my commute to work very annoying! On a lighter note, I am liking that you can see the hot air rising from my cellar in front of my kitchen window where my dryer is vented lol

Toggs....
....you too could have plug and play 220-250v machines if your heating elements were kept to the 2200-2500w range....
It is now (excepting some vintage machines) highly unusual to have domestic machines in any other part of the world other than North America or that don't originate in North America that have such unusually high power demands. Beyond the occassional 15amp circuit in some older laundry's and garages, the inability to not plug whatever I want into pretty much any power point is completely foreign to me....and we can still plug a normal appliance into a 15amp/20amp etc. circuit as the pin/s get larger on the more powerful plug.... ...and that includes plugging a washing machine into the points in the bathroom/loungeroom or bedroom if I wanted to... | ||
